The copy reported upon in Icazbalceta and the two copies held at the John Carter Brown Library vary slightly. Icazbalceta (incorrectly?) reports the month in line 2 of leaf 2 verso as "mayo", where both JCBL copies read "março", as is also reported by Medina. Foliation errors common to all three copies: leaves 13, 19, 28, 107, 112, 123, 137, 172, 180 and 196 misprinted as 145, 29, 20, 109, 120, 12, 150, 173, 181 and 188; no. 39 defective. Icazbalceta additionally reports leaf 36 misprinted 37
